1-Day Akagera National Park Gamedrive

Depart Kigali early in the morning for a full-day safari adventure in Akagera National Park, located about 2.5 hours away. Upon arrival, enter through the southern gate and begin your guided game drive through the park’s diverse landscapes—rolling savannah, woodlands, wetlands, and lakes. Explore various game tracks in search of the Big Five: lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards, and buffalo, as well as giraffes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, and a rich variety of birdlife. Enjoy picnic lunch at a designated viewpoint or near Lake Ihema with beautiful views of the park. Continue your drive in the afternoon, covering more scenic routes and increasing chances of wildlife encounters. Exit the park in the late afternoon and begin your return journey to Kigali, arriving in the early evening. This one-day safari offers a perfect snapshot of Rwanda’s only savannah park and a chance to witness impressive wildlife within a short time frame. Ideal for travelers on a tight schedule.
